Of course. You just have to get that far into the main story. You can also just choose an option that lets you start with a preleveled character able to just do the expansion.

Wow. That is a lot of content. The Witcher 3 is quite an amazing game. CDPR killing it again.

Oh damn, I love the colour palette they are using here. The colors are much deeper than Witcher 3 base game. Reminds me a bit of Zelda Wii U actually.

Yo Dmax3901, you should update the OP.
Neither Iorveth nor Saskia will be in B&W. As a massive fan of Iorveth, it sucks, but it is what it is.
Iorveth was going to be in the base game, but he got cut. It wouldn't make sense for him to be in Toussaint. I hear that they're doing a comic book, similar to the one they did for Saskia, but I haven't seen an official anoucement yet.
The old friends comment is more likely referring to

Fringilla Vigo (she's a former lover of Geralt and the cousin of Anna Henrietta, the Monarch of the area), Dandelion or Zoltan.

Will not stop saying it. Better than most full games released this year. GOTY 2 years in a row.
15.80 euros in Europe on GoG.

All this UI revamp and content. Feels like Lord of Destruction all over again.

At least the home will give me a reason to spend some currency. I have something like 180,000 crowns in NG+ at this point.

Yup, there are armour set bonuses now.
I can't believe the book fans aren't talking about this.

This is game of the generation for me. Nothing comes close in the sheer amount of presentation, work and overall time you can put into it.
The best thing is. Not one hour of it is boring. This expansion puts some fully fledged 60 bucks games to shame.

Dayum this looks good. Sounds massive! Seems like I'm in for another binge. The only unfortunate thing is that I won't get to play it until around E3 due to exams.
But at least I've got something to look forward to.

There's a whole new class/deck of cards.

There's a new deck.
There's also a
tournament in Beauclair where you challenge Count Monnier, the creator of Gwent. Obviously named after Damien Monnier.
I'm kinda looking forward to this but... all that means is two solid weeks of not sleeping or exercising properly for me, lol. I'm gonna feel like shit the first half of June.
Did anyone do the Dark Souls III thing where you did 10 pushups every time you died? What should I do if I want to get Geralt-swole? Do 10 pushups every time I find balisse fruit? So zero. Zero pushups then.
HoS was amazing, much much improved combat. If you encountered a band of rogues or whatever, they seemed to be composed of a balance of types suited to the terrain in order to create a strategic feeling battle, as opposed to the base game which felt more random. Plus the new enemy types...

10 push-ups every time you get overencumbered. Get that Letho bod

10 pushups every time a drowner jumps backwards and a human runs at you with a sword over his head

Goooooooooooooooooooooooooood lord.
I can't believe they actually added
The absolute mad men.
I'm unsure if I want to start a game completely from scratch or work through NG+ in anticipation for this.
I can't believe they actually added
the armor from the artbook. I was just talking to a friend that it's finally time they make good on it. He'll lose his mind.

Mwhahaha, sorry. It's from an official screenshot though, so CDPR obviously didn't think it that big of a spoiler.
CD Project Red once again proving that they are the best in the business. Cant wait to revisit the best game of all time (imo) with this expansion. I love the UI updates, makes everything easier to navigate
Also these guys know how to make a season pass. Just compare this to the piece of crap season pass of Arkham Knight. This is a full on expansion
Yes, I am hyped. Bring it on

If you do NG+ on Witcher 3, can you take your DLC armor back with you as well?
Like if I beat this expansion, then hit NG+, I can take all this gear back to the beginning with me?

Haha, the reason for me is that I still am not sure if it's actually whom I think he is.
I imagine him much uglier and less slick than that CDPR's illustration.
